You can’t make this up.
You can’t make this up: Until roughly 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, the USDA listed Wakanda as a free-trade partner of the United States.For those who aren’t well-versed in Disney’s DIS, -1.00% Marvel movies or the comic books that inspired them, Wakanda is the secretive, high-tech African nation that the superhero Black Panther calls home.
Tseng also shared his surprising find on Twitter TWTR, +3.19% with a screenshot of Wakanda listed as a free-trade partner, right below Peru. So what happened? A USDA spokesperson told MarketWatch by email that the “Wakanda” entries were supposed to be test files to ensure the tracker was working. “Over the past few weeks, the Foreign Agricultural Service staff who maintain the Tariff Tracker have been using test files to ensure that the system is running properly,” he said. “The Wakanda information should have been removed after testing and has now been taken down.”Believe it or not, this sort of thing has happened before.
